Random rantings of the misfit kind.
I am a notorious reactor. I tend to get very emotional, very easily (it’s usually the anger emotion!), and it can hinder progress, and mare how others perceive me. It’s nice to feel that it doesn’t matter what other people think of you, but in the real world, your reputation is 80% of who you... Continue Reading →
This post is about change (duh), but it's also so very much about me. Lately, people have voiced their concerns on how I've "changed". This is by no means a jab at any particular person, but that statement has caused quite a bit of pondering on my part in the past few weeks. Especially when... Continue Reading →
Ok, so, you woke up this morning, and what’s the first thing you did? Reached over and looked at your cell phone…probably checked Twitter and Facebook to see what everyone else is doing with their lives, right? Maybe got a little envious, because it seems like everyone else is doing great things without you. And... Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks ago, I treated myself to a wonderful 90 minute aromatherapy massage at Massage Envy, and let me tell you, it was worth every dollar (it's also a LOT better than bothering your significant other and getting a five minute half-hearted attempt at one). I'm a member, and I pay a flat... Continue Reading →
Well, this is it folks. 2012 has come to a close, and thankfully, we're all still here. For those of you who claimed 2012 as your year and have no clear progress to back that up, well, sucks for you. Please don't claim 2013 until you get to the end of it, 'k? Right now,... Continue Reading →
For the first time in years, I'm actually excited about the Thanksgiving holiday. It's been at least a decade since my family has gotten together; aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma. For many people, that can seem like a hassle, but for me, it's a blessing. The idea makes me nostalgic, reminding me of a much simpler... Continue Reading →
So it’s as if someone heard my desperate cries. I complained, I pouted, and thought our city might be hopeless. In my post, “The In-Betweens”, I discussed how there was nothing, nothing to do for us 80s babies in Hartford. In response, a friend of mine created a site, Hartford Soultree, where she listed all...

One of my favorite hip-hop songs came on the radio the other day, and man, did it make me feel like a kid again. It was Ghostface Killah's, "All That I Got is You", and even now, those lyrics never fail to get me choked up. It brings me back to a place that most... Continue Reading →
Ah, Memorial Day. The unofficial start of summer...and the official start of flossing season. It is now that time when people bring out their leased and over-paid for "summer" vehicles (usually from the garage of their parents' home), go on a wild summer clothing shopping spree, and begin to brag about all of the places...

Thursday, April 30th, 1992. A sad, sad day...well, at least for me. From the moment I began watching television, Thursday nights at 8pm were reserved for one thing, and one thing only: a new episode of The Cosby Show. The show, I believe, played an integral part in raising me: it showed me that there... Continue Reading →
